We investigate the location of zeros for the partition function of the anti-ferromagnetic Ising Model, focusing on the zeros lying on the unit circle. We give a precise characterization for the class of rooted Cayley trees, showing that the…
The Lee-Yang property of a given spin model means that its partition function has purely imaginary zeros as a function of an external magnetic field. A similar property is also used in the theory of quantum anharmonic crystals and quantum…
In a classical work of the 1950's, Lee and Yang proved that for fixed nonnegative temperature, the zeros of the partition functions of a ferromagnetic Ising model always lie on the unit circle in the complex magnetic field. Zeros of the…
We prove that for the Ising model on a lattice of dimensionality $d \ge 2$, the zeros of the partition function $Z$ in the complex $\mu$ plane (where $\mu=e^{-2\beta H}$) lie on the unit circle $|\mu|=1$ for a wider range of $K_{n n'}=\beta…

Zeros of the moment of the partition function $[Z^n]_{\bm{J}}$ with respect to complex $n$ are investigated in the zero temperature limit $\beta \to \infty$, $n\to 0$ keeping $y=\beta n \approx O(1)$. We numerically investigate the zeros of…

We analyze the partition function of the Ising model on graphs of two different types: complete graphs, wherein all nodes are mutually linked and annealed scale-free networks for which the degree distribution decays as $P(k)\sim…
We present a general, rigorous theory of Lee-Yang zeros for models with first-order phase transitions that admit convergent contour expansions. We derive formulas for the positions and the density of the zeros. In particular, we show that…
The complex zeros of partition functions were originally investigated by Lee and Yang to explain the behavior of condensing gases. Since then, Lee-Yang zeros have become a powerful tool to describe phase transitions in interacting systems.…
We have characterized numerically, using the Janus computer, the Lee-Yang complex singularities related to the overlap in the 3D Ising spin glass with binary couplings in a wide range of temperatures (both in the critical and in the…
We introduce a new way of reconstructing the equation of state of a thermodynamic system near a second order critical point from a finite set of Taylor coefficients computed away from the critical point. We focus on the Ising universality…
The quantum critical behavior of the Ising glass in a magnetic field is investigated. We focus on the spin glass to paramagnet transition of the transverse degrees of freedom in the presence of finite longitudinal field. We use two…
We analyse the critical region of finite-($d$)-dimensional Ising spin glass, in particular the limit of $d$ closely above the lower critical dimension $d_\ell$. At criticality the thermally active degrees of freedom are surfaces (of width…
Yang-Lee edge singularities are the branch point of the free energy on the complex plane of physical parameters and were shown to be the simplest universality class of phase transitions. However, the Yang-Lee edge singularities have not…
It is believed that the $\pm J$ Ising spin-glass does not order at finite temperatures in dimension $d=2$. However, using a graphical representation and a contour argument, we prove rigorously the existence of a finite-temperature phase…
Suitable cluster definitions have allowed researchers to describe many ordering transitions in spin systems as geometric phenomena related to percolation. For spin glasses and some other systems with quenched disorder, however, such a…
We introduce an effective field theory for the vicinity of a zero temperature quantum transition between a metallic spin glass (``spin density glass'') and a metallic quantum paramagnet. Following a mean field analysis, we perform a…
We recently showed that the two-dimensional Ising spin glass allows for a line of renormalization group fixed points which explains properties observed in numerical studies. We observe that this exact result corresponds to enhancement to a…
Near the second order phase transition point, QCD with two flavours of massless quarks can be approximated by an O($4$) model, where a symmetry breaking external field $H$ can be added to play the role of quark mass. The Lee-Yang theorem…
